Blues

The government may be shutting down but the Rockhouse carries on. We welcome Curtis Obeda, leader of the Butanes, in to the studio for Hour 2. To kick off this weekend’s Riverbend Blues Festival in Mankato, Curtis is reuniting the Butanes’ Soul Revue after a 10-year hiatus. We’ll also talk about the new Butanes’ record, Long Time Thing, released this spring.

Thanks to Howlers for coming on the show and performing live today. They’ll be appearing, along with Tom Feldmann of the Get-Rites, at Freewheelin’ First Friday, this Friday night at the 331 Club.
